Generally speaking rueing is worthless if you cannot come up with causes and their solutions.
If you look at most of the picks from defense you can see Marinelli's fingerprints all over them. Fortunately he's gone.
Nolan actually had a good track record with talent. He should've been a scout not a coach.
Quinn did not have a lot of top 100 success for defense in Atlanta or Seattle.
I think the solution here is to stop letting coaches allow you to focus on individuals they single out.
Its obvious how things are done in Dallas.
Jerry collects opinions of many in the building and comes to a consensus in his own.
He goes with whoever makes the most compelling argument.
Thats why you see coaches with much more influence than usual.
Recipe for disaster. Jerry and his kid call it "secret sauce."
They don't have any sort of clue how far off they are....but none of this will change until there are several seasons in a row like this past two.
The fact that they are good enough to beat the snot out of teams that aren't trying to win and the awful division allows this mess to continue.
